WISDEM - WIDEBAND INTELLIGENT RF SPECTRUM DETECTION EXPLOITATION AND MONITORING

CONTACT : Scott Fitzgerald - [email protected]

POC’s family of Agile RF Filters can be synchronized to frequency-hopping radios, Data or SIGINT Systems and dynamically create notches in the full output energy of most EW Assets, thus removing harmful interference from communication Data or SIGINT frequencies. It operates in the analog domain, and can provide over 100 dB of in-band attenuation, with minimal reflected power (VSWR <1.4), and low out-of-band insertion loss (<1.0 dB), while passing over 1kW of power to the emitter. It is capable of creating frequency tunable filters and/or dynamically configurable widths and depths. Agile RF Filter performance has been validated in US Navy and US Army EW labs using military radios and EW Assets.

WISDEM is a system used to reliably characterize the RF spectrum in an area and provide the data in real-time to a central control over band-width limited communications channels.

Features • Frequency Range: 1 MHz to 7 GHz (expandable to 18 GHz) • Instantaneous Bandwidth: 2 GHz • Frequency Resolution: 10 kHz • Real-time detection of signal strength, center frequency, and bandwidth, with timestamp for all signal content within IBW • Adaptive thresholding • Detection of overlapping wideband/narrowband signal content • Differential monitoring (to identify changes in signal content) • Compensation of analog RF front-end impairments • Output data rates compatible with GbE or 802.11

DOCSWAT - DATA-OVER-CHAOS SENSOR WEB WITH ADVANCED TRUST SYSTEMPOC has developed a secure communication method to protect sensor networks, information, and communication systems from exploration and cyber attacks. The method is based on use of data-over-chaos (DOC) algorithms for data hiding and transportation, and unique integration of trusted management tools with new enhanced security technology. Data and the data structure cannot be retrieved without knowing the device fingerprint, i.e., a special set of tables (proto-tables) that can be encrypted, distributed, and hidden in the end-node hardware and/or software. This allows elimination of other data encrypting methodologies, including data encryption with encryption keys and key-related security gaps and disadvantages. DOCSWAT is adaptive both in sensor content and as an ad hoc network.
